CPL 2023 Champs to host Exxon -Mobile Super League in July

The Guyana Amazon Warriors will again play host for the 2025 edition of the ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League (GSL), scheduled to take place from July 10-18 at the iconic Providence Stadium.

The Amazon Warriors, champions of the 2023 Caribbean Premier League (CPL), will join four elite franchises from around the globe as they vie for the prestigious GSL trophy and a share of the US$1 million prize fund, states a release from the organisers. With international talent converging on Guyana, they say the stage is set for another exhilarating tournament that showcases world-class T20 cricket alongside the vibrant culture of the host nation.

The Amazon Warriors came heartbreakingly close to reaching the GSL final in 2024, falling short only on net run rate after a spirited campaign. Nevertheless, they demonstrated their trademark resilience and class, hallmarks that have defined their CPL journey. One of the most consistent teams in CPL history, the Amazon Warriors have qualified for the play-offs every year, reaching the final on an incredible seven occasions. They added yet another strong season to their record books by finishing as runners-up in the 2024 CPL.

Looking ahead to another thrilling chapter Chairman of the ExxonMobil GSL, Sir Clive Lloyd shared his excitement:

“The Guyana Amazon Warriors were brilliant hosts for the tournament in 2024, and I know all the players and visiting teams appreciated the warm welcome they received. Beyond the cricket, the Warriors and the people of Guyana helped showcase this incredible country to the world. This year’s tournament offers another wonderful opportunity for Guyana to shine as a top-tier destination, known for its breathtaking beauty, hospitality, and passion for the game.”

The release also states that the 2025 ExxonMobil GSL promises to build on the success of the 2024 tournament, bringing thrilling contests and unforgettable moments to the cricket-loving fans of Guyana and beyond. With the Amazon Warriors set to battle for home glory, and an impressive line-up of global challengers, this summer’s showdown is shaping up to be one of the most exciting events on the international cricket calendar.
